The Electrical Engineer is responsible for performing electrical engineering designs for renovation projects in industrial environments. These designs will consist of development of construction drawings, performing calculations, and writing technical specifications and construction scopes of work. The position may have opportunities to guide, lead, and mentor more junior electrical engineering staff and lead teams of other electrical engineers and designers on mid-sized and moderately complex projects.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES
Work with other technical resource groups and project management to develop project front-end documentation, including project execution plans, estimates, and schedules
Regularly interface with client counterparts to align technical design with client requirements and criteria
Prepare detailed design of projects in compliance with governing codes, regulatory requirements and client standards
Perform calculations of fault currents, electrical demand load, voltage drop, conduit and feeder sizing, heat trace sizing
Complete electrical documentation, including single lines, area classification development, plan drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, technical specifications, and construction scopes of work
Develop and foster working relationships with clients for business development purposes
Work package checking and quality control
Perform field surveys to validate existing conditions and determine parameters for new designs
REQUIRED SKILLS AND ABILITIES
